There is not a shred of evidence that it had anything to do with Mossad. It was wrongly claimed on X that one of the murderers of Jews on Bondi Beach was Jewish - a lie the Tankies now keep repeating. In fact the murderers were both Muslim, with connections with IS. Their real names have been released. They were not remotely Jewish.
Nor is it remotely justified to blame all Muslims for the attack, any more than it is remotely justified to blame all Jews for what happened in Gaza. It was a brave Muslim man who disarmed one of the murderers.
The insanity of blaming Mossad for the attack is sadly typical of many Tankies. When I pointed out that neither attacker was Jewish and they were linked to IS, one idiotic Tankie called me a "Zionist!!!"

I agree Jim there are lots of wallies out there. No thinking person could swallow that the Bondi beach attack was a Mosad false flag situation.
ReplyDeleteNor on the other hand could any thinking person ignore the historical provocations of Western Christiandom over the centuries in the Middle-East. Nor would they ignore Western imperialist expansionist designs after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Thinking people, unlike the ideologically ensnared, would have gamed the likely responses out.
Tankies and the far left generally are parasitic to all progressive movements due largely to their conspiracism.
DeleteIt is often hard to tell the difference between Tankies and Fascists. Both are drawn to authoritarian structures and cultures where the dominant ethos is the need to obey and be obeyed - consistent with Adorno's Authoritarian personality The ideas I think are add-ons. So we can now see Tankies supporting the right wing imperialist convergence between Trump and Putin. And they both love smearing anybody disagreeing with them.
